Blind Assessment

Nuanced, multi-layered, complex. Red currant, honeysuckle, pomegranate, cocoa nib, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with bright, vibrant acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The flavor-saturated finish consolidates to notes of red currant and cocoa nib, with undertones of cedar.

Notes

Despite challenges ranging from contested government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands to chronically unstable weather, Kenya continues to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees using long established traditional methods. Kakalove Cafe is a nano-roaster located in the small city of Chia-Yi in Taiwan that strives to procure and roast the finest quality coffee.

Bottom Line

Red fruit and crisp cocoa notes characterize this deeply aromatic, richly complex, classic Kenya cup.
